Akchour to God's Bridge (Pont de Dieu)

Added on 14 Oct 2026
Logged by @trailx

From the dam and parking area at Akchour a path follows the Farda river gorge into Talassemtane National Park to the Pont de Dieu, a natural rock arch high above the river. The walk includes river walking and some steep, scrambly sections, and can be combined with the Akchour waterfalls on the other branch of the valley.
